3 - Say which movie/show it was that hooked you
4 - Supply photos for said stars
5 - Tag five people
...is a shameless excuse to list my personal 'hits' for the estimable ladies of the Anglophilic Fangirl Global Mafia. We need icons! One day, tee-shirts! And maybe, possibly, squeeeeful encounters with our objects oflustadmiration. But until then, here is some beautiful picspam for you all.
[EDIT] Click on the pics to get a larger version and a link to the AFGM gallery, with even more pictures - swoon!
Number one:
Ioan Gruffudd. Da Iawn, Da Iawn, Da Iawn. I first saw him in Fantastic Four of all things, and was instantly smitten. Then I realized he was in Hornblower and it was all downhill from there. Heaven forbid, I left 102 Dalmatians on to catch his very silly role (and also took Welsh language classes for a few months....) So very Welsh, and so very beautiful. Many pictures of him in the gallery.
Number two:
We should really be the Britophilic Fangirl Global Mafia. The sexily bespectacled David Tennant is a Scot, which makes me want to hunt down a picture of him in a kilt. And glasses. Currently starring as the Tenth Doctor, where I first appreciated his geeky sex appeal.
Number three:
Mr. Darcy! Tom Quinn! Whoever he is, Matthew MacFayden is wibble-inducing. First saw him in the new Pride and Prejudice and soon started watching Spooks, where he played the part of an MI-5 agent with an incredible intensity. He and Ioan strred in a British series about peacekeeping forces together - I would give almost anything to get a copy on DVD.
Number four:
I think I first saw Clive Owen in Closer. Yowza! The man has such a smoldering intensity, he just radiates sex with a single glance. Martha Grimes thinks he would be a perfect Richard Jury, and I thoroughly agree.
Number five:
If The Clive is Richard, then Alan Rickman is my Melrose, amid many other things. I don't know when I first started lusting after him and his golden voice, but it doesn't matter. He's often described as the thinking woman's sex symbol, and I think the description is perfect.
Number six:
If Alan Rickman is the thinking woman's sex symbol, that must put Anthony Steward Head in the MENSA range. While everyone else was lusting after Angel and Spike, I was daydreaming about card-catalouging. Among other things.
Number seven:
Ewan MacGreggor was the only constant and good thing to the Star Wars prequels. I was smitten with his Obi-Wan, especially when he was all scruffy in the third film and channeling Alec Guiness. Like David Tennant, he's also a Scot - if the picture didn't make it, ahem, clear.
Number eight:
It's impossible to not love Hugh Jackman, who is the first member of our Aussie Auxilliary. As silly a movie as it was, Kate and Leopold sealed my affection for him - he just looks so good in breeches.
Number nine:
You never forget your first bout of Anglophilia, and for me, that was Paul McGann. Curiously enough, he was my first flirtation with Doctor Who. He was the only redeemable thing to the movie, but even if the Eighth Doctor only lives on in the audiobooks, Paul was gracious enough to play the role of Lt. Bush in Hornblower.
Number ten:
Technically, Alexis Denisof isn't British, but he lived there, so that counts by me. He was a running joke on Buffy and increasingly sexy and angsty on Angel. Wesley's character arc was so dramatic and tragic, and Alexis made it happen. One day, I will meet him in person. Like the rest of the list!
